Sunitha hits out at Jagans Odarpu Yatra

Anantapur: Farmers and people of the State don’t need YSRCP president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy’s Odarpu Yatra, Minister Paritala Sunitha remarked on Monday. Addressing the Janmabhoomi-Maa Vooru programme at Mushtikovela village in Kothapalli mandal, she hit out at Jagan for his tour of Anantapur district during the last one week.

The Minister accused Jagan of making a farmer of Bandameedapalli in Raptadu mandal say on Sunday that he did not get the benefit of loan waiver. She contended that Rs 30,000 loan waiver was given, declaring that she was ready to provide the account number for verification. Sunitha alleged that the YSRCP had made DWCRA women of the village utter lies, whereas the government had remitted their amounts. These women, she asserted, had secured a fresh credit of Rs 5 lakh.

While accusing Jagan of making farmers and DWCRA women resort to falsehood, the Minister wondered for whose benefit the yatra was being taken up. She claimed that the YSRCP leader was trying to prevent desertion by his party leaders and activists. Sunitha said Jagan would do well to spend the amounts earned during YSR’s regime for farmers’ welfare. “Only this would make the yatra fruitful” she added.
